What to Serve With

[billisonboard]

I am currently unemployed so have taken over meal planning and prep for my wife who is still working. I am new to this so need some help. Tonight I am preparing a nice little Birdseye Voila Stir Fry Chicken skillet meal. I am curious what flavor of water people would recommend I serve with it. I am leaning towards a 2020 Safeway Signature brand Key Lime or perhaps a Walmart Clear American Peach. Thoughts?

Eau de Tap with a sprig of mint.

Lemonade or Bai coconut flavors.

If you add a slice of cucumber to the water and let it breathe a bit, it really brings out the character.

My dd. recommended putting cucumber in water. My GF gave me 4 cucs. I like them but they have to be eaten right away.

I wish Walmart/American would bring back their Fuji Apple - Pear soda.  It had lavender in it as well.  Soooo good.

Serve tap water in a wine glass and be sure to add an ice cube so that it tinkles.  Save your money for a salad or a dessert.  If you've already planned a salad or a dessert, add crunchy goodies to the salad or whipped cream to the dessert.

Darn.   I just dumped a large jar of pickle juice into our drinking jar.  Maybe I can sort it out later.  Thanks.

Due to the popularity of pickle-backs for shots, bars around here are beginning to make their own pickle juice. It's not difficult to make, just mix vinegar, water, salt (and chose spices for flavor), bring it to a boil, and jar it (or put it over cucumbers to pickle), and toss it in the fridge. 24 hours later, tasty pickle juice.

I did pickle them. We eat a lot of pickles so I did have juice on hand.
